@jhutson: "A few weeks ago I commented that the kids in the Netherlands weren't the 
first in line for the swine flu shot, while in the US they are. Well 
obviously somebody was reading, Last week the Dutch health minister decided 
that all kids between 6 months and 4 years old should get injected. 
Apparently under 6 months is not safe for side effects. Your wish is our 
command Minister, today and tomorrow a million people will be injected. 
Mainly children and their families, and all family and friends of the under 
6 month old kids. In a couple of days last week all these people received a 
letter inviting them for the shot, having our national citizen register has 
many advantages, push a couple of computer buttons and job done. Most 
injections until now (including mine) have been done by family doctors, and 
these will continue, but the extra million (from a population of 17 million) 
will be done with military precision. In Amsterdam a giant event hall has 
been taken over and 60,000 kids will be injected in 2 days, should be great, 
if noisy television pictures, they are putting on extra buses and trams, I 
will post a link to these pictures later. There are 300 such centers all 
over the country, and all one million will be finished tomorrow evening. The 
take up of the shots is high here, so it should be busy.
Me, I get my second shot quietly from my Doctor next Friday.

Yes GPs have been doing that here as well for months, my point is that the 
council has a complete register of citizens and their addresses, you must be 
on it to get a house, bank account, healthcare, pension etc. So when the 
minister said an extra million kids needed to be injected fast, somebody at 
my local council typed a letter, then typed a birthdates into their 
computer, then chose automatically all family members and pressed send 
letter. This meant every kid in that age group and their family will be 
injected within 5 days (including a weekend) of the decision. I think our 
national registry is a neat system, strangely we get very few complaints 
about privacy.
